What? Why am I making bundles in the market? Ohhhhhhh my there u go WP... More Trump Hate... Thanks to Trump all r restaurants and stores r jammed packed..People spending their money MAGA

Corporate paycheck boom u meant?

williamlegate So far!

williamlegate No. They were not. They were supposed to give trump and his cronies billions. Which they did

And they never will. It is likely that if the cuts happened in a incremental rollout, then it would spur investment. But when the end result is all the money and you get that upfront.. what's the point? They is why stupid people shouldn't be in charge of the economy.

williamlegate Market collapsing along with the housing market

Blind!

Compared to Obama’s mediocre economy, I’ll take the Trump economy.

Wrong. I work with small businesses, and the boom is there. They thrive and not survive like under Obama who had all these regulations. They will all vote Rep from now on....

It was never to stimulate the economy. It was to give more money to the wealthy to perpetuate the income gap, and increase the deficit so that congress could take Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid away from us.

this brings back memories during the Bush Era when he crashed the economy after giving tax cuts to the rich. Republicans will never learn this repeated historical mistake.

Wrong

We’re receiving $400 more each month from the TaxCuts, so we’re investing more!

They won’t! Its a monumental scam. Republicans should be prosecuted for this!?they knew damn well it was a scam😡

Are you blind.

Unless you count the stock buy backs.

It never happens! The republican politicians (in fact right wingers in general) always say that due to tax cuts then the businesses invest this extra wealth..when they don't overall! It gets buried in bank accounts instead😞😣😞

The bank giveth & the bank hauleth away.

I guess you ignore all the new unfilled jobs by biz since according to your numbers it's to have ppl just stand around & not do anything

They cause a recession as predicted by looney leftist. How can institutions of higher learning allowing these loons to make assine predictions.

Yes the economy is struggling

Tax breaks for corporation when they are already reporting record profits. We knew that. “We’ve got mom and dad backing up the SUV to unload $ to their brokers.” Animal spirits. You want a strong economy. Make sure mom and dad don’t lose the house when dad has a heart attack.

No SHIT! It made the 1% richer! And the deficit skyrocket!

This is all part of a simple, flawed and dangerous attitude of the top 1% in this country: they “want their money back” instead of “wasting it” on others. So much for patriotism, capitalism, empathy and the simple concept of paying into the system that made them wealthy.

click bait. WAPO desperate.

He’s suffocating emerging markets.

Wpost is lying. Our business is quickly expanding because our customers are growing. Wpost ignores. 3.5% growth in the economy. WPOST is a chicken little yellow journalism rag with no morality and no integrity

Hey! ... I’ll put it up in lights for you Douchebags.......................Better?

DONALD TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS HAVE AND ARE STILL WRECKING THIS COUNTRY SOCIALLY, ECONOMICALLY HATE CRIMES,TARIFFS THAT ARE HURTING BUSINESSES IMMIGRATION IS NOT A BIG ISSUE TRUMP REPUBLICANS TRYING TO DISTRACT FROM HOW BAD THEY ARE WRECKING THIS COUNTRY

The only 'boom' it created is the 2 trillion dollar deficit.

Big corporations seem to be investing in new employees, judging from the unemployment and new job creation numbers.

Since when did cuts ever do anything but inspire people to hoard off-shore? Especially now, the only bets are hedged to getting out. btw...the only attribute that bestows real powers on a man is lack of self-importance, take that to the bank, folks, this NY crap is foolishness

Seems economy's doing fine.

Tax cuts just helped the 1%. Lawmakers investing in companies they make decisions on, getting richer by the day. Lunatic POTUS and Corrupt Senate. GOP needs to be wiped out, totally

Well, you just have to wait. Not everything happens all at once.

Now that's funny . Who believed This would happen not me the Greed is so ugly .

TRUMP'S TAX CUTS WERE FOR TRUMP ...NOT THE POOR OR MIDDLE CLASS DUMPTRUMP THE FRAUDSTER AND THIEF !!!!!

My 401-K which I paid into my entire life for my retirement is exactly where it was in Jan 2018. Thanks, Donald

They are in parts of the country

Not surprising, considering that the article says it was “never going to” work.

Fed moved the goal post.

They've set off an economic boom. Since cutting regulation, and the tax cut we've seen a 400% increase in black owned small businesses. Thank you President Trump

Fraud on poor citizens

you mean to say “they haven’t so far?” english journalism editing

Trickle-down 🤣 WillRogers
